Here is part of a 1948 interview with semi-physical alien
Question: How would you define a scientifically advanced civilization?
Alien: When you don’t use power or aggression to convince others, you are on your way to civilization.
When you look toward the universe and other communities before you look at yourself, you are on your way to civilization. When you get rid of your weapons, any tools of destruction, you are on your way to civilization.
When you open your hand and extend your arm to welcome other realms of knowledge and wisdom rather than close your hands, make fists for war and stiffen your jaw, then you are on your way to civilization.
When you stop to have locks on your doors and fear intrusions, you are on your way to civilization.
When you unify one language for all the people of your kind, you are on your way to civilization.
When you stop to categorize people by gender, by race and by colors, you are on your way to civilization.
When you are no longer in need of law enforcements, judges, jails, courts and punishment, you are on your way to civilization. When you get rid of your monetary system, you are on your way to civilization.
When you stop killing living creatures (animals and creatures of the sea) and eating their flesh and blood, you are on your way to civilization.
When you stop dropping your waste in the oceans and polluting your environments, you are on your way to civilization.
When you get rid of your organized religions and scare people by false threats such as burning in hell and alike, you will be on your way to civilization.
Finally, when you start to believe in the divine essence of yourself and the spiritual mental immortality of your very being, you will be on your way to civilization. But, we know you will never do any of the above.
So some modest progress in:
- language thanks to the internet
- racial tolerance etc
- reduction in flesh/blood consumption
- reduction in pollution
- reduction in religious activity
- increase in non-religious spirituality.
And here, this site encourages work with the divine essence - the Flame
So I think perhaps Earth humanity is making progress - despite the harshness of law and war makers
